The whole X-session restarts, as if I do "xdm restart" or |
9 |
"ctrl-alt-backspace". I get back to the login-prompt of gdm. |

No error message, I also browsed the xorg-logs, dmesg, /var/log/messages |
12 |
... nothing related as far as I understand. |

Hmm, I don't know ... why should a hardware-problem only shoot X11 ... ? |
21 |
It should crash then also when I dualboot windows xp for gaming (it does |
22 |
not crash there even under quite high gaming load). |

OK, RAM might do that, I had a customers pc which rebooted (! reboot, |
25 |
not only kicking off one app) here and then because of defective RAM. |
26 |
|
27 |
I start some memtest while having my coffee just to check that out for a |
28 |
start. |

But I really assume some other reason, as I only recently went up to |
31 |
~amd64 ... for me it is much more likely that maybe the step up to |
32 |
xorg-server 1.7.x or something related might be the reason here. |
33 |
bugs.gentoo.org didn't really list such a bug, maybe I should file one. |
34 |
But to me it seems a bit early as I can't reproduce it or really show |
35 |
some error-messages so far. |
